Computing Prayer Success: If a character has exactly the virtue
required, and spends the minimum allowable DF (divine favor), the base
chance of success applies. If the character has greater than the minimum
virtue, base chance rises 1% for every 2 points of additional virtue. In
addition, if the character chooses to spend more than the minimum
allowable DF, base chance of success rises 1% for each point of DF used.
However, many saints have an upper limit of DF that can be used during
a single prayer.
Prayer Results: When praying from the character information
screen, you can select which person the prayer will benefit (in rare cases
it benefits the whole party). When praying during chracter interaction (as
part of a menu option), in addition to interaction results the specific
benefits are applied automatically to the party leader.
Normally saints proved a bonus to attributes and/or skills. These
bonuses last for about 24 hours, plus or minus a couple of hours. In some
cases the effect is healing instead of a bonus. Healing replaces lost
attributes permanently (not just for 24 hours), but never goes beyond the
original value of that attribute (you can't heal what doesn't exist).
Saint's Day Prayers: When praying on the saint's day, a significant
percentage of your DF is refunded. Although nice, this is so uncommon
as to be irrelevant in normal game play.
